Bo's place was great for a first-timer in Thailand.
We arrived in Bangkok at around 1 am. After getting through immigration, we called an Uber and inputted the address provided by Bo. The one hour trip there from the airport was super cheap. Check-in instructions were very straight forward and the security guard at the building was very friendly and helpful. The fact that there's a security guard there at all times is even more comforting.
The place is small. but cozy. It makes a great place to sleep and nap in, but you won't want to stay here all day. The bed and the couch were both comfortable.
There's an electric kettle which we used to cook some instant noodles that we bought from 7-11 since we arrived so late at night. There are 24 hour convenience stores within a 8 minute walk in either direction. There's also some 24 hour food places on Soi Sukhumvit 55 just two streets over if you get in late.
We tried a bunch of street food and restaurants in the area. You're a short walk away from Thong Lo station which is great for catching the train to malls at some close stations. We went to Terminal 21 a few times to shop and eat. We also caught the train to go to a cafe a few stops down to get work done.
One night, after getting back from the night market, we stopped by Octave rooftop bar which is basically just across the street from Bo's place. It's a very touristy attraction, but still a memorable spot to grab a drink.
We went all over Bangkok using a variety of travel methods. What we liked was that Ubers can pick you up directly in front of the place as it's right at the beginning of a side street of Sukhumvit rd. We never had a hard time grabbing a taxi directly from the road if we didn't need to Uber.
The only problem we encountered was that the water heater for the shower stopped working. Bo said he would have this fixed so the next person who stays here probably won't have that problem.
We never met up with Bo but he gave us many good recommendations and he responded very quickly to all of our messages.
While the location is not close to a lot of the more touristy areas, we liked that. I felt like I got a good mix of the tourism side and the regular Thail lifestyle by staying here. Would definitely stay here again!
